OnePlus 13 Expected to Feature Ultrasonic Fingerprint and Snapdragon 8 Gen 4
OnePlus is again started to make headlines with its next upcoming flagship smartphone – the OnePlus 13. This new-gen device appears to give the best performance and user experience in the tech industry.
From there, popular tipster Digital Chat Station has dropped some interested specs of the OnePlus 13. First of all it is said to come with a 6.8-inch micro-curved display with a 2K resolution. This screen also features LTPO technology, which is good for saving battery life. The display of the upcoming device will be similar to its predecessor OnePlus 12, which suggests that we should not expect major changes on this front.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 13 could have the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor-a powerful chipset to launch later this year. The device will have 6000 mAh battery which is an upgrade from the previous one it was confirmed by DCS again.
Based on his words, the OnePlus 13 will come with a 6,000 mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,400 mAh battery on the OnePlus 12. Like its predecessor, the OnePlus 13 will come with charging capabilities of 100W wired and 50W wireless.
Another field in which the OnePlus 13 is expected to improve its camera technology. This may involve a multi-focal camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens, perfect for capturing high-quality zoomed images. It could sport a triple-camera system with a 50MP primary shooter, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a telephoto lens.
The design of the OnePlus 13 has not been certain yet. Mixed signals have been received from the leaks, with some forwarded major aesthetic changes, while others firmly believe that it’s going to keep the phone design similar to the OnePlus 12, complete with the same familiar round camera module. One possible big upgrade will be an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. The new sensor promises better performance in tricky situations, such as when fingers are wet or oily.
One report earlier mentioned that the OnePlus 13 will launch in China anytime from October to November this year. So it will be released for the global region in December or January next year.
